melia dubia ready in a year or two, want to know the buyer side and what size mills accept

Melia dubia mainly goes to plywood and packing wood units, and some to pulp. Plywood mills generally prefer logs of reasonable girth and straightness for peeling, so bigger girth logs fetch a better rate, while thin material may only sell as packing or pulp wood at a lower price. You can sell standing trees to a contractor or felled logs directly to a mill. Price is by weight or girth and varies with mill demand, so the same logs can fetch different rates in different seasons. Before planting a large area, talk to the plywood units in your belt about the girth and rate they actually pay, since Melia demand and prices depend on local mill capacity.

The mills near Namakkal wanted good girth for peeling. My thinner trees only sold as packing wood at a lower rate. Wider spacing and water gave me thicker logs.
